Value Collection R57700483 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700483 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Spring pins, also called roll pins or tension pins, are hollow cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows radial compression during installation. The slot creates spring tension that holds the pin in place within a drilled hole once seated. This pin measures 11/16 inches in overall length and 5/32 inches in diameter. It is used in mechanical assemblies where a press-fit retaining pin is required and corrosion resistance is a priority. Maintenance technicians, machinists, and millwrights commonly install these in equipment, linkages, and shaft assemblies.

This slotted spring pin is suited for light-duty to medium-duty mechanical applications in industrial, commercial, and marine environments where moisture or chemical exposure demands a corrosion-resistant fastener. The 18-8 stainless steel grade provides good resistance to oxidation and many common corrosives. Typical applications include hinge pins, clevis pins, gear assemblies, pump linkages, and similar retained-component configurations. This pin is sold individually and ordered in multiples of 100.

Key Features

• Slotted design compresses radially for a secure interference fit in drilled holes
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemically exposed environments
• 11/16 inch overall length for compact fastening applications
• 5/32 inch diameter for precise hole-size matching
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard tooling and hole gauges
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or replacement slotted spring pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/32 inch diameter, 11/16 inch long press-fit retaining pin in inch-dimensioned applications.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are installed by licensed or qualified maintenance technicians and machinists using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Ensure the receiving hole is drilled to the correct nominal diameter per applicable engineering tolerances before driving the pin. De-energize or lock out all equipment per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures before performing any pin installation or removal. Do not reuse a spring pin that has been removed, as the slot may have been permanently deformed.
